SYSTEM_bPLCResetAndRun without function (remedied from V8.1)

Remedied from:
EPL-10200 (Drive PLC V8.1)

Behaviour of new version?
If the SYSTEM_bPLCResetAndRun system variable of the SYSTEM_FLAGS system block is set to TRUE a control reset with immediate restart of the PLC target system is activated.
After the restart the system POU PLC_ColdStart is executed first.



Which products are affected?
ECS axis module B-SW  <= V6.7
EVS93xxEI (Servo PLC V6.x)
EVS93xxET (Servo PLC V6.x equipped with technology function)
EPL-10200 (Drive PLC V6.x)

What happens?
The SYSTEM_bPLCResetAndRun system variable of the SYSTEM_FLAGS system block is designed to execute a control reset and to restart the PLC target system.

If the SYSTEM_bPLCResetAndRun system variable is set to TRUE a control reset is not activated. The PLC target system continues to run irrespective of the system variable state.

When does the problem occur?
The SYSTEM_bPLCResetAndRun system variable is without function.

Possible diagnostics?
None.

Short-term measures/recommendations?
Use code C2108 to reset and restart the PLC target system.

Evaluation:
By means of the SYSTEM_bPLCResetAndRun system variable the PLC target system can be reset without mains connection. This variable is quite seldom used in practice.
